Are you a homeowner, Greg?

Well folks, its official, Samson and I have our own little Casa. Its done and dusted, not without a few nervous butterflies in my stomach at the closing yesterday as I signed document after document. But yay! Elise and I sat on the floor for a good while last night chatting about what colors and window treatments would look cool, and that sort of thing, and it was great! I woke up this morning and just thanked God for the blessing after blessing he has give me, and Sam too.

I regret that I don't have a photo to post of me shampooing the carpets with one hand whilst holding a bottle of Shiner in my other hand. But, I'll let you conjure the mental image on your own. It gave John and J-Do much pleasure, and it made the house smell so much better (not the beer, but the shampooer with lavender scented shampoo).

On the whole, though, I am excited, but will be more so when I come back from England, move more of Sam's and my stuff in, and generally settle and pick out color schemes, etc. Ooh, and I bought a sweet rag-rug this morning at quite a bargain. I look forward to inviting lots of friends over for enjoying. Good times! Yikes, I'm definitely leaving in 5 days and won't be back until NOVEMBER. How weird. I can almost smell the vinegar now.
